It does not matter what you hold your savings in only
that it will retain value when conventional paper currencies become a despised
possession. When that happens you need the ability to buy the things you
need with what you physically have on hand. The question you must answer is
what will you have on hand when that day comes.

The
World Map Of Hubris & Humiliation. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 07/31/2015
The journey from hubris to humiliation in EM has taken
roughly 5 years. As BofAML notes, despite muted asset returns, 2015 has
seen the emergence of two big trends: the risk of a bubble in US health care
& technology; and the crash in EM/Resources/Commodities. The two trends are
best exemplified by the "Map of Hubris & Humiliation" which shows
among other things that the market cap of MSCI Russia is currently
equivalent to Intel’s, while the market cap of Netflix equals that of
MSCI Chile.
[ Eso solo indica que
la explosiva concentración del capital y la riquezas se hizo a costa de hundir
a la periferia y que todo eso fue posible gracias al fraude financiero, al
vulture capital o capital buitre y al chantaje y la coima imperial. En otras
palabras eso significa que se han dado las condiciones materiales para un nuevo
ciclo de revoluciones a nivel mundial. Esta vez contra el sistema neoliberal
quw asfixia e impide el desarrollo de pueblos y Estados Nacion. Esto último depende del nivel de organización
y coordinación que logren estos pueblos oprimidos del mundo para su liberación ]

Goldman
Warns "The Global Economy Is Going Round In (Smaller & Smaller)
Circles". Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 07/31/2015
Amid the collapse in commodities, crashing Chinese stocks,
the weakest US wage growth in US history, and a data-dependent Fed; Goldman
Sachs fears the new normal is 'shorter-and-faster' business cycles with no
persistence primed by monetary policies. Most wprryingly, they conclude, will
short business cycles beget shorter business cycles?
[Los multi-millonarios la ven claro .. el colapso del sistema
neoliberal es evidente. Pero los pueblos
oprimidos no tienen ese nivel de conciencia .. el pueblo de Grecia lo probo ..
ni siquiera pudieron articular estados nación de Europa que sufren el mismo
problema .. cayeron en la trampa del dialogo y las encerronas con la troika ..
estos vencieron .. pero fue victoria pÃrrica y derrota pasajera para unos y
para los otros .. Hoy ninguno de ellos sabe cómo salir del embrollo (riddle)..
Para los de abajo el problema es como
salir de la trampa ‘austeridad’ sin caer en la trampa “exterminio económico y
militar” que les prepara el imperio .. Eso supone convencer a las masas de que
el euro es el mas letal veneno azucarado para un Estado-nacion y para el futuro
de sus hijos .. Sin que se muestre la miseria que eso ya viene creando va a ser
difÃcil .. se requiere el control de la prensa o crear una prensa alternativa
que muestre la verdad y eso no se puede hacer sin ayuda de estados soberanos
del BRICS y/o de financistas pro-autonomia .. Esto si se puede lograr desde
arriba, pero abajo se requiere armar brigadas internacionales pro- autonomÃa, y
sobre todo claridad en la aternativa post-neoliberal… En esto último, hay
claridad sobre la necesidad de un modelo mixto que combine el capital
productivo venga de donde venga, con el Estado gestor económico en
representación de la nacion .. Eso equivale a hablar de SOEs (State owned
enterprises) , y/o del Modelo de Tito en la experiencia Yugoslava; y/o del
modelo escandinavo : democracia de
mercado con responsabilidad social.. El
que mejor sirva a las circunstancias de frenar el fraude financiero del modelo
neoliberal… Es falso de que no hay modelo alternativo. Si los hay y son varios
en Europa y uno en el USA, el del FD Roosevelt : el Glass-Steagal Act o New
Deal que habrÃa que adaptarlo a la realidad actual… Alternativas existen, lo
que no existe aún es voluntad organizativa en esa dirección ]

The IMF
Experts Flunk, Again. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 07/31/2015
The IMF failures in Greece bring back vivid memories
of the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997-98... As the Indonesian episode
should teach us, the IMF’s management can be very political and often neither
trustworthy nor competent. Greece offers yet another chapter.
[ El IMF es una
agencia del imperio Americano .. sus financistas tienen el 17% de las acciones,
pero sobre todo tienen una web de
burócratas sirvientes bien pagados.. y
sirvientes no del interés europeo pero si de las mafias que controlan las
finanzas americanas (case in point: el fraude inmobiliario.. les empaquetaron
casas nuevas y viejas que supuestamente estaban en default .. las nuevas los
estaban, las viejas no.. y les infestaron su sistema bancario).. El IMF no es
una entidad autónoma y jamás le intereso Grecia .. lo que si le interesa es
mantener con vida a los cancerberos de la Banca Europea y de la Union. Lo
cierto es que esta Union solo tiene un eje: Alemania, es por tanto un organismo
ultra-centralizado que asfixia al resto. Aun si se descentraliza con una Federación, el
eje financiero seguirÃa siendo Aleman, sin esta pata se cae la mesa y el euro.
Se trata de un organismo artificial con pocas esperanzas de vida. Al imperio
americano le importa mantener este cadáver mientras sirva a sus planes
guerreristas, por tanto los usara y sacrificara como ocurre con las sanciones
contra Rusia… Los seguirá usando mientras eso sea posible. Hoy lo es .. pronto
no lo será. ]

Bernie,
The Koch Brothers, & Open Borders. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 07/31/2015
Presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders recently raised the ire
of both progressives and libertarians with his remarks concerning immigration. In
just a few sentences, Sanders manages to demonstrate a hodgepodge of nativist,
nationalist, protectionist, and socialist sentiments. But for anyone
wondering why he wandered off the progressive narrative on immigration, it’s
because protectionist labor unions pay him better than, say, La Raza.
[ A Sanders lo pueden
denigrar en forma ruda o suave como aquà .. esta vez buscan separarlo de los
latinos.. Pierden su tiempo, la lógica racista no funciona con los latinos…
funciona bien entre los caucásicos que ven las elecciones en términos de
dinero, “quien tiene para comprar votos en la prensa gana la contienda”, es
casi una regla. En en el sur la lógica
es diferente .. en Peru el candidato
mejor pagado en la prensa americana perdió
las elecciones y justo por eso, por tratar de comprar el voto. Me refiero al caso Mario Vargas Llosa, entre otros. .. Yo soy
peruano-americano y cuando conversaba con otros latinos note esa hermosa
coincidencia: todos estaban a favor de Sanders. Yo también ]

Should
It Be A Crime To Shoot Down A Drone Over Your Property?. S by Tyler
Durden on 07/31/2015
A Hillview man has been arrested after he shot down a
drone flying over his property - but he's not making any apologies for it.
"I just think you should have privacy in your own backyard," said
William Merideth, 47, "I went and got my shotgun and I said, "I'm not
going to do anything unless it's directly over my property."" That
moment soon arrived, "within a minute or so, here it came... it was
hovering over top of my property, and I shot it out of the sky." Merideth
was arrested and charged with first degree criminal mischief and first
degree wanton endangerment...

Congress
Passes Bill In 15 Minutes To Revoke Americans' Passports Without Due Process.
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 07/31/2015 [ Whose due process?.. ]
The “war on terror” is a status quo fraud perpetuated
by the oligarch-controlled mainstream media and authoritarian members of
Congress as a way to systematically strip the American public of its freedom
and civil rights in the name of fighting an outside enemy. This tried and
true tactic has been used by statists throughout history, and history is
indeed repeating itself here in the “land of the free.”

"We
Want The Names Of Anyone Who Sold" - China's Market Witch Hunt Enters
Twilight Zone. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 07/31/2015
Having claimed 'foreign interests' were "waging an
economic war" against China, it was ironic that the most outspoken of
Chinese SOEs is now under investigation for 'selling' shares when it was told
not to. As
Reuters reports, China is extending its dragnet for "malicious
sellers" to Hong Kong and Singapore as the witchhunt blame-mongery
continues, Rather ominously, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC)
has demanded trading records to try to identify those with net short
positions who would profit in case of further falls in China-listed shares,
three sources at Chinese brokerages and two at foreign financial institutions
said. Even more incredibly, as
Bloomberg reports, despite total ignorance by US regulators, China is 'daring'
to crackdown on market manipulation via 'spoofing'.
[ Lo que muestra el
caso Chino es que el modelo neoliberal
-sea cualquiera el sitio donde opere- es un nido de ratas. Por eso
decÃamos que la peste mas letal de todos los tiempos es la peste de las ratas
neoliberales .. esta es peor que la peste de ratas que invadió Europa a fines
de la edad media e inicios de la revolución industrial . Esta es global y de
aquà nacen los nuevos grandes ricos del mundo ]

The quarterly

line with all the other depressed BLS data, which dashes the "wage growth

of escape velocity any day now.
